(CNN) – Rush Limbaugh said Thursday on his radio show that Fox News and at least one of its anchors "caved" in its coverage of Shirley Sherrod, the former USDA employee who was fired in haste on Monday after an edited clip of her was posted on a conservative website.

"I have to go after it … because even Fox caved on this," Limbaugh said. "Even Shep Smith. Even poor old Shep Smith went down there and said that everybody's wrong on this, that Breitbart is wrong and so forth. There's only a handful of us that have the guts to put this story straight. If we don't hammer back nobody will."

Limbaugh dismissed the story, saying he was bored by it.

"It's nothing more than the left playing the race card, the NAACP has thrown down the gauntlet because the big government argument has failed," Limbaugh said. "They are keeping alive the divisions in this country and I hate taking the bait, I hate playing along with it, I simply despise the whole thing."

And in other news, Limbaugh is still a big fat fucking idiot.

1. Translation:

It is too toxic for Rush to touch

11. No, more like...

"Don't look at the man behind the curtain." Rush's listeners are stupid, and they believe everything he says, facts be damned. These are the same assholes who insist that the President show his "long form" birth certificate, even though the Governor of Hawaii, a republican, has said the one he showed was legitimate. AND, despite his birth announcement being printed in two local papers. Rush says this is all about the left playing the race card, so that's what his audience will continue to believe. It's just more gasoline on the fire.

2. Did Limbaugh listen to Shirley Sherrod's speech?

I don't think he would insist on sticking to his version of this story if he had the honesty to listen to the speech.

5. Early in his slot today, I heard him say

he would have to read the transcript because of poor sound quality/his hearing problem.

3. Laugh it up, fuzzball.

You're only keeping the embarrassing dishonesty of the right in the headlines.

4. Opportunist--

anything to keep his own name in the news.

6. Get your ass down to socialized medicine Costa Rica Limp balls!

And when you get your ass off your property down there for more than 1 month, I hope the squatter's rights nation teaches you a lesson about abandoning leisure property for more than one month.

7. Big racist Limbaugh can't figure out why everybody is not jumping on this story

Limbaugh finds stories about overt racism entertaining. He just doesn't get it when he is the lone voice in the darkness promoting a toxic subject.

8. If only he were the lone voice. Unfortunately, right wing radio

is filled with voices screeching the same shit as Limbaugh. All day, every day.

9. Arsonist tired of things being on fire. n/t

10. "There's only a handful of us...."

I can't tell you how many times I've heard that phrase from Rush.
